Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce just moved from tabloid chatter to the paper trail: the New York Times and CNN have confirmed that Madison Square Garden is booked for a multi-day Fourth of July weekend event, backed by a real street-closure permit filed with the city. Neither Taylor's nor Travis's name is anywhere on the application — but New York agencies are planning around a major July 3rd event anyway. Plus: a no-gifts rule, a thousand-name guest list, and the bride flashing her ring on the word "ring" in Nashville. Still not one official word from the couple. 📋 The confirmation: NYT a...

Travis Kelce dropped a major family hint on his podcast, saying he envisions kids in his future — aligning perfectly with Taylor Swift’s new song “Wish List,” where she sings about having kids who all look the same. Jason Kelce, already a dad of four, joked about family reunions, and Travis jumped in, confirming he sees that happening down the line. The internet is already buzzing — wedding rumors are swirling, including a rumored two-day NYC nuptials next week, and even a bachelorette party spotted at Taylor’s Rhode Island home. Every lyric and podcast moment is being dissected as fans wait to...

“In silent screams and wildest dreams, I never dreamed of this. This love is good. This love is bad. This love is alive back from the dead.” This week we’re setting sail on one of history’s greatest epics, Homer’s The Odyssey, and asking a very important question... did Taylor Swift write it? (We’re mostly joking. Mostly.) In this Show & Tell episode, we each make the case for a Taylor Swift song that illuminates a different facet of the Odyssey, from Penelope’s 20-year vigil to Odysseus weeping on a gorgeous island, to the sirens, the wine-dark sea, and a very significant scar. Along the way, the hosts dig into questions of translation and interpretation — particularly the significance of Emily Wilson’s landmark female translation of the text — discuss the role of Athena in the story of the epic, and geek out about the archery contest that shows up in both the Odyssey and two Indian epics. Plus: the upcoming Christopher Nolan adaptation, the musical Epic by Jorge Rivera, Madeline Miller’s Circe, and why All Too Well (10 Minute Version) might just be Taylor’s own Odyssey.
